BeautiControl review

With all of the hype surrounding mlm companies these days you need to keep in mind that not all of them are going to be the next financial wonder of the era. There is just so much bad reputation on mlm companies that it gets very hard to find one that is really worth the effort and money.

Is BeautyControl the next best company that will put you out of your financial misery or should you stay away from it? In this review I am going to look at 2 very important factors that will determine the success rate of any mlm company that you can find. These 2 factors are the products and the compensation plan.

For any mlm company to exist the one factor cannot go without the other one and if there is just one flaw in one of them, then it will be a deal breaker. Let’s continue with the products:

BeautiControl products

For most people, the products are not that important and this is where most are failing even before they start with the company. The product are the driving force of the company and without it, the company will not be considered legal and will then fall under the category of a pyramid scheme.

It is very important to note that the products need to be of high quality and it needs to be unique. I have seen so many mlm companies that promotes the same products and this can become a problem. The price of the products also needs to be competitive in order to promote it because if someone can buy similar products for cheaper at their local store, then you will not be able to make any sales.

Short overview on some of the products that you will find

Facials

Cream

Skin moisturizer

Eye care

Body scrubs

Eye care

Fragrances

Makeup

Lipstick

Cutex

Cologne

Baby cream etc.

As you can see this company has a wide range of product in the beauty niche. The products itself are not that bad, but there is nothing unique about them which might cause a problem. If it is not unique then why would someone pay an extra amount of money for it? They would rather go to their local store to buy some of the items mentioned above.

So the products did not really do it for me. The second important factor is the compensation plan:

BeautiControl compensation plan

Sometimes you will find a compensation plan that will allow your business to grow faster and where the plan itself is easy enough to understand in a short period of time. The more complicated the plan and the more levels it has, the harder it will be to scale or grow your business.

The compensation plan of BeautiControl is no different. It has 12 different levels that you can reach which is bit overkill and this makes it harder to reach because each level has its own requirements which might be impossible to reach for most people. There are 2 main ways to earn money with BeautiControl:

Retail profit

In the beginning you will be a consultant where you can earn from 25% up to 50% commissions from the direct sales that you can make through your customers. If you have a greater sales volume, then your commission rate will also increase.

Group sales

When you start to recruit other people into the company, you will then be able to build your own group for where you can also start to earn a commission from. As you reach new levels, you will be able to earn a commission rate from what your enrollees are making and if you increase your level, then you will also earn a commission from more generations deep. I am not going to go very deep into the compensation plan because it is a very complicated plan and is not easy to explain.

Should you join BeautiControl?

There was not really one thing that stood out for me in this company. The products are not unique and the compensation plan is a mess. There is also no data on how much the people are making in each level. I am not a big fan of mlm, but personally this is not a company that I would join.

Multi level marketing companies in general are a waste of time. Here and there you might find one where the products are good and unique where the compensation plan is also simple enough so that everyone can understand it. This can make it very hard for you to recruit new members into the company because you need to explain this plan to them.

If you cannot understand the plan, then how will you be able to promote it. The same goes for your referrals, because if they cannot understand it then how will they be able to grow their downline or group? The compensation must be able to create and maintain the link, but not break it. Communication is what network marketing is all about and if you cannot do it properly, then it will collapse. Maybe if you have a lot of experience in network marketing and you have the skills of the trade, then you might stand a chance.

MLM vs Affiliate marketing

Multilevel marketing is luckily not the only way to earn a passive income online and I am ecstatic about it. What if you could do something that you love and then build a website around it? Maybe you are a golf fanatic and you want to blog about everything related to playing golf.

Do you know how many different products there are inside this niche that might make you profit? This is why affiliate marketing is so powerful because there are thousands of niches available and millions of products to write reviews about. There are also hundreds of affiliate marketing networks that you can join so you are not limited to only one or 2 companies.

By building websites you will also have the ability to earn a passive income from affiliate marketing products. Websites are like online stores that will make money for you while you sleep or when you are on vacation. This is the beauty of building a website because once it is built and you have enough articles on it your online asset will make money for you on autopilot.

There is no limit to the amount of websites that you want to build and also the size of them.

Valie,
What a great site and wonderful topic you blogged about. MLM companies are very difficult to earn a living from and most people never do make it very far.
The colors on your site are rich and easy to look at. The words are bright and easy to read.
You have shown great visuals and explained the difference between MLM’s and Affiliate Marketing with great ease!
The site is easy to follow!
Your research shows in your writing.
Thanks
Sheila

Thanks for the compliment Sheila. There are so many people that agree with me that affiliate marketing is far better that mlm. It is just easier to make money online through your website and there is no need to enroll people to earn a commission.

You need to provide us with a newsletter since I always feel like I need to type finds in Google to find you. Every time there is an mlm company I try to stay away from it, but I have read positive and negative reviews about it that is why I needed to read your review.

I believe just like you that the main problem mlm companies face is that for the most part their products are not high quality and they are not unique. Thank you for reviewing this company!

I have never heard of this company, but I cannot believe that they can compete with the likes of Avon, who are a very successful MLM company. But I guess that’s the problem for the people entering their system at the bottom. The company is successful but are the members? Or does it take ages to get enough people “below” you to start making profits? I think a lot of MLM companies make money out of people joining, buying the initial “package” of products and then never doing anything about it. I found this review helpful, and I would agree that Affiliate marketing is so much better than MLMs. I’m sure there are good MLMs but it all seems too complicated!

Usually the people that joined early on are those that are making the most money. These group are in the top 2% and they are making about 90% of the money which is just ridiculous. If you join and buy any of the products then you will end up making them only richer.

Most mlm companies are also duplicates of other. It is like they try to copy successful mlm companies in order to gain trust.

I personally never like MLM business scheme. Not that I’m saying all MLM are scams. There are also some good products out there that using MLM scheme. The problem is, most MLM built based on using MLM strategy framework and then create whatever product just so that it will have a product to sell. It started wrong and no doubt resulting in a sub-par product.

I enjoyed your review on MLM. You are so right, I invested in a MLM company and invested close to a thousand dollars and never saw a dime because I didn’t sign up other people and that is the way they do it. They say they don’t work as a pyramid and make it look like a real good investment but these companies take a long time and a lot of money to build yourself to enough to even get a decent paycheck.

Great review. Something about MLMs is that most of them are fleeting, even if it looks like they are doing well in the present moment. Even looking at Vemma, which seemed like the most stable MLM of all MLMs was taken down by the FTC, so when there is an MLM company that does not have a foundation, it’s good to keep away.

Vemma was one of the bigger mlm companies out there and this is just a clear indication that even though you are making money with mlm now, it simply does not mean that you will make money with it far in the future.

Some mlm’s have lasted for many years so this makes it difficult to differentiate between those that will last and those that will fall.

Looks like a fairly comprehensive review of a company I am not familiar with. As you say there doesn’t seem to be anything unique about the products to recommend them and there are so many beauty companies out there that I suspect they might not be too easy to sell which would not make it easy for a new starter to make money. I am not sure about your statement that “Multi level marketing companies in general are a waste of time”. Having made many thousands from them over the years I think there could be a bit more to it .

MLM companies in general is a waste of time but you will get some mlm companies that are very good. If they have a simple compensation plan with good and unique products then you can make a living out of them.

The majority of them are useless but there are a couple of golden nuggets in between 🙂

Great to see a bad review come by as well. Builds some trust in my eyes. A lot of people just sell through these sites but your opinion is true and actually honest information. Glad to see this. Keep up that work. This way people tend to go easier to your website

As someone who is a big fan of network marketing, I found your review to be a valuable and interesting resource.

With hundreds of new ‘ground-floor’ opportunities popping up on a daily basis, its hard for newbies to know which opportunities to take seriously and which ones to reject.

After having read your review, I’m in complete agreement with you when it comes to this opportunity and I think your review will give curious business opportunity seekers enough information to make an informed decision as to whether to pursue this or not.

I think I will pass on this one. I’m afraid I will have to start nagging my friend about buying these stupid products. These products are usually just ways to cloak a pyramid scheme so that it becomes legal. I like your idea of Affiliate marketing, having my own website and business is better than joining some scheme.

Have you actually put these products on your skin? Yes, agreed, looking at the product line, there is nothing out of the ordinary, but when someone can safely treat and heal their cystic acne, control their eczema flair ups and essentially feel amazing in their skin without any harsh chemicals, it’s not just ordinary skin care. And it’s direct sales, meaning the consumer saves hundreds because there is no middle man so no need to jack up the prices. And yes, you can recruit people so I guess that makes it an MLM, but I’m still trying to understand what is so bad about that…

Am I a BeautiControl consultant? Absolutely! And have been for 4 years. I have a masters degree and have a career so I don’t really need BeautiControl for an income, but what I do love is that my discount is stacked on top of sale items, so I can purchase my skin care cheaper than cheap drug store product. And when I do “work” BeautiControl, every single person that has tried it has either purchased from me or I recruited, how? Because the product sells itself.

I said nothing bad about the product just that it was not for me. If the products can help a lot of people with their skin problems, then why not sell them. If you also like to sell the products, then go for it.

I am not a huge fan off MLM and I have my reasons for not wanting to get involved in one. I would also choose affiliate marketing above MLM any day.

Hi, thanks for this great review of BeautiControl. I thought it might be another multi-level marketing scheme and you’ve confirmed my suspicions.

I really don’t want to be one of ‘those uy’ who has to start harassing his family and friends trying to overpriced facial creams!

I really the idea of affiliate marketing, even though I worry a little about the technical aspects of building websites, because it’s done online so there’s no face to face selling and you’ve got a lot bigger customer base.
